Daniel Robbins, original creator of the Gentoo project, offers a solution to fix the recent leadership crisis at Gentoo: "I have received permission from my employer to return and serve as President of the Gentoo Foundation, renew its charter, and then work in some capacity to help to get Gentoo going in the right direction from a legal, community and technical perspective."

Nothing against anyone in the Gentoo camp, but when Robbins ran it, it was the Ubuntu of its day. If Gentoo wants to continue to be relevant and not just a niche system, I think Robbins is the best guy for the job.
